Chapter 269: Could This Be Love?

Angela knew she had to find out what Marcus really wanted from her, what he expected in return for the help he gave. Even though he was her parent, she wasn’t used to any family member doing something for her without wanting something back. All her life, she had always paid Grace or Uncle Toga for every little thing they did for her, whether with money or by doing chores.

"No one is forcing you, my love," Hiro said softly. He could see she misunderstood again. He rubbed her knuckles gently. "Every decision is yours. If you want to leave right now, we’ll do it. What matters is what you want."

Angela could see that they truly meant it. They were on her side. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.

"This room was made for you a long time ago," Taros explained quietly. "Marcus said he kept changing it every year, hoping that one day he’d find you. If you don’t believe me...."
